New arrival to the eastern U.S. First report for U.S. collected in Potomac, Maryland in October 2015 (T. Mustelin). Later review turned up earlier U.S. records from Reston, Virginia, going back to October 2013 (BugGuide), indicating an earlier introduction to the United States. Native range is scattered across western Europe. Thanks to Tomas Mustelin, Hugh McGuinness, Tim Reichard, Bob Biagi, and Steve Nanz for their review of East Coast records.
